Yoel Romero Misses Weight, Ineligible To Win Interim UFC Title

Yoel Romero will not be allowed to win the interim UFC middleweight title Saturday night, as the former Olympic silver medalist missed weight.

Romero attempted twice to weigh-in successful, coming in a second time at 187.7 pounds. He needed to be right at 185 or under for his bout with Luke Rockhold to be official for UFC 221’s main event Saturday in Perth, Western Australia.
